HE whispered, “My love, raise your eyes.”

I sharply chid him, and said “Go!”; but he did not stir.

He stood before me and held both my hands. I said, “Leave me!”; but he did not go.

He brought his face near my ear. I glanced at him and said, “What a shame!”; but he did not move.

His lips touched my cheek. I trembled and said, “You dare too much”; but he had no shame.

He put a flower in my hair. I said, “It is useless!”; but he stood unmoved.

He took the garland from my neck and went away. I weep and ask my heart, “Why does he not come back?”

他低声说：“我爱，抬起眼睛吧。”

我严厉地责骂他说：

“走！”但是他不动。

他站在我面前拉住我的双手。我说：

“躲开我！”但是他没有走。

他把脸靠近我的耳边。我瞪他一眼说：

“不要脸！”但是他没有动。

他的嘴唇触到我的腮颊。我震颤了，说：

“你太大胆了！”但是他不怕丑。

他把一朵花插在我发上。我说：

“这也没有用处！”但是他站着不动。

他取下我颈上的花环就走开了。

我哭了，问我的心说：

“他为什么不回来呢？”
